Pam 01304 green dial

Hi all.
Not posted on this section before. Started looking at getting my 1st panerai watch but there's so many!
Any suggestions on a good place to start?
Was looking at a green dial pam01304 earlier. Any pointers? Cheers

Just pick one, don't feel like you're settling because I assure you more will come! I am more addicted to this brand than any other. My first was a 111. It served(s) me well, I won't ever part with it. Currently, I bought a 968 back in Nov and haven't worn another watch since. I love it.

Be aware that many of the most cherished models have been discontinued and you need to peruse the secondary market to find them.

First decide what case appeals to you - 1950 luminor, Luminor bettarini, radiomir, submersible, due, etc. and try them on.

Getting into Panerai is a journey that should be enjoyed. Don't worry about the destination. Try out a few models and just have fun.

Many people will recommend many different models for different reasons, but you'll soon find that what you'll love might be something else.

Be sure to check out the new Radiomir Origine watches. They wear smaller than the 45mm suggests, all the wire lugged Radiomirs wear small. I tried on the blue one last week and it was cool.
Good luck and keep us posted.

I’m a fan of their older models. Most importantly go and try some on. Don’t be hooked on what you might like until you’ve tried them. Here’s mine, all long-discontinued.
